This legal education was presented in 2006, has been conducted nine times, or regularly twice every year, and named as "nuclear control education" for the observation of the international norms on nuclear nonproliferation and the spread of the nuclear control culture. This educational program consists of two main courses.

Both courses also contain a new and remedial course, which depends on whether educatee are in charge of new task on nuclear control or not. Because KINAC provide this education twice a year, they can choice once of two educational opportunities carried out in every May and November. This educational courses have covered topics such as: national policy on nuclear control, nuclear nonproliferation regulations, obligations, discussion on current issues with educatee. There have been 715 educatee from organizations such as KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute), the KHNP (Korea Hydro-Nuclear Power Co., LTD) and the KNF (Korea Nuclear Fuel), etc. Consequently, KINAC expects to strengthen nuclear nonproliferation regime of ROK and enhance nuclear transparency of ROK through this legal education.
